Song Xiang entered the palace gate, and the accompanying palace people led her to the Qianqing Palace.

This huge palace city is as solemn as it is remembered, and the majesty of imperial power is everywhere.

When she arrived outside the Qianqing Palace, the eunuch signaled to stop, and after turning inside, he felt it for about half an hour, and then came to lead her inside.

Song Xiang stepped out of the door, looked at the ground with his eyes slightly down, walked four or five steps, and then lifted his skirt and fell to the ground: "Courtier Song Xiang, knock on the emperor." ”

There was a slight noise in the hall, and then a familiar old voice said, "Raise your head." ”

Song Xiang raised his head, and saw the emperor sitting on the dragon chair in the middle, and Lu Zhan and Hu Xiao sitting on the left and right, both of whom were a little tense on their faces.

The emperor squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the girl below, only to see that she was twenty-eight years old, with a slightly plump goose egg face, curved eyebrows and apricot eyes, a straight nose and a round jaw, but she was born with a good appearance.

Wearing a light blue summer dress, there are not many embellishments, and the embellishments are just right, the moment she looks up, she is like a tender green lotus draped in morning dew from the lake stretching her waist, dignified, elegant and free.

The emperor glanced at Lu Zhan, who was sitting next to him, and the young man was looking at the hall fixedly, as if he didn't even know where his soul was.

He said, "I know you. Earlier, there was an accident at the doctor's house surnamed Li in the medicine center, and it was you who handed over the certificate and sent Zhou Yi to the torture rack; Later, you sent the Zhou family to prison, and even Yu Shilang was dismissed because of this; There was also a small case in the Metropolitan Procuratorate a while ago, and there were officials in the yamen who harmed people by their means, and they also had something to do with you. You're a big girl, why don't you stop like that? ”

The emperor's voice was neither loud nor small, neither tepid nor hot, but Lu Zhan and Hu Xiao under the seat couldn't help but straighten their waists.

He's not only distorting the facts, he's making things difficult! Lu Zhan was also used to seeing Song Xiang's simple dress, and it was the first time he saw him so delicate and exquisite, so he couldn't help but be dumbfounded, but he was still recalled by the emperor's words.

Although he knew that Song Xiang had seen the emperor, but the emperor had never been in direct contact with her in his previous life, how could she know what to do? Maybe she can't even figure out what the emperor's grandfather is!

Lu Zhan was anxious and couldn't help but look at Hu Xiao.

Hu Xiao can roughly guess what kind of medicine this grandson is selling, and this is the idea of beating his goddaughter! It's not surprising, after all, Princess Jin asked them to marry this righteous family earlier, just for this!

The emperor wants to test his future daughter-in-law, he naturally can't stop him, but no matter how sophisticated Song Xiang is, he has never seen such a scene, and it is already good to enter the palace to see the emperor bowing, how can he expect her to answer like a stream under the emperor's digging pit?

After asking these words, few ordinary women can withstand it!

He couldn't help but give his hand: "Your Majesty ......"

"Are you afraid that your righteous daughter will be cowardly?"

The emperor glanced over, and Hu Xiao couldn't speak again under this agitation.

Song Xiang didn't believe that the emperor could understand these things, and now he deliberately distorted the facts, so he was naturally testing her.

Thinking that this old man was not an unmeasured person, she stared slightly, then kowtowed, and said: "Emperor Mingjian, the Li family's state is indeed handed by the courtiers, the world is big, it is not the king's land, the people of the world, the shore of the land, it is not the king's minister." The three lives of the Li family who died because of Zhou Yi were also the emperor's people. The courtiers handed them the petitions, but in fact they were crying out for injustice for the holy people. ”

Hearing this, the emperor's slightly reclining body suddenly paused, and his eyes were raised with stars.

Song Xiang continued: "The reason why the Zhou and Yu families ended up like that was that the Zhou family lost their morality and harmed others first, and tried to retaliate against the courtiers. The natural result also proves that I am the king of Liang and wise, and the rule of this prosperous era is worthy of its name.

"As for the case of the Metropolitan Procuratorate," Song Xiang paused slightly, and said: "Yu Zhi'an's wife, Tong Shi, in order to seek a way to be promoted for her husband, learned that the courtiers worshipped Lord Hu as their father-in-law, so she came to ask the courtiers three times and twice to ask for a vacancy for her.

"The courtiers think that the court has its own rules for promoting and appointing officials, and the courtiers are just a boudoir woman, how can they meddle in the affairs of the yamen without knowing the proportions?

"So I rejected it, but unexpectedly, I was hated by the Tong family and set up a poisonous plan to harm me.

"Although this incident almost damaged my reputation, the courtiers were still proud to uphold the rules established by the court.

"Although the courtiers have appeared in the yamen from time to time, none of them are the original intention of the courtiers, and the emperor is asked to make a clear decision."

Her voice fell, and the hall suddenly fell silent.

Lu Zhan sat with her mouth open, looking at her calmly but still respectful, she had become a stone statue, and Hu Xiao's face was also very exciting......

The emperor's eyes were deep, and the indifference on his face had long since disappeared.

In the past, when the queen was there, she often sent officials and young ladies into the palace to talk, and even if the emperor was in the front hall, he would inevitably bump into him a few times.

Aside from those who followed the elders of the family into the palace when they were young, such as the princess of Jin, not to mention, those women who first entered the palace to meet were all a little restrained, and asked them to speak, it would be good to be able to answer, if the tone of the question was not good, nine out of ten were so panicked that they only kowtowed to protect themselves.

It is simply unique to be able to reply so clearly and fluently under the question of an unkind tone, and not forget to praise the court everywhere!

The emperor inhaled slightly, looked at her twice, and then looked at Wang Chi: "Move a chair." ”

Wang Chi seemed to come back to his senses, straightened his waist, and went quickly.

The Emperor looked at His Highness again: "Get up." ”

Song Xiang thanked him and got up, only to feel that his knees were sore—he had never knelt like this in his life, and if it weren't for this martial arts, he would have almost knelt down.

……

The Jin Palace, not far from the palace, is only a quarter of an hour to drive a horse.

When Yang Xin saw Chonghua, he had already gone out, and when Su Mu saw him along the journey from the palace to the palace, he was already halfway there.

Su Mu didn't have time to think of any good way, so he broke into the section where the hawkers were gathered, threw out a handful of money and said, "Give me the road in front of me to sell!" Don't let the horses cross the road! ”

Because the king of Jin rushed into the palace, he directly hit the horse and came out, how could he have thought that he would be blocked by people halfway to sell?

Frowning and glancing twice, he called the guards who dismounted and drove away, turned the horse's head and said, "Don't entangle, change the route!" ”

The group immediately turned left into the fork in the road, and the king of Jin was naturally very familiar with the roads in the capital, so he quickly bypassed the congestion just now and continued to move forward.

As soon as Yang Xin and the guards got on the bridge, they saw the pedestrian coming this way!

"What should I do?" The guard asked.

Yang Xin looked around anxiously, and saw a few disabled old beggars not far away, and immediately said, "Carry them over!" ”
